We got there around 8pm (8:05 to be exact), and we were seated very shortly. The place was packed with japanese enjoying themselves. From the moment we sat down we were given 2 hours (that’s how i knew it was 8:05 that we came in).

I must say that we started out strong, ordering 3-5 plates every 5-10 minutes, but the pace didnt last. In hindsight, the fact that i ordered gohan (rice) to accompany the yakiniku took it’s told, and i was unable to eat anymore towards the end.

Overall it was a blast and a very reasonable price. It ended up being ~$41 which may seem expensive, but you have to remember that you could order any cut of meat you wanted, and also any drink you wanted. It was well worth the money and the fun i had there with my friends was priceless.

Below are a few pictures (my camera was dying so there are not as many as i would have liked).

I left for shibuya ~11 and got there ~11:20. I was surprised at the lack of people. I read that new years eve is treated as Christmas eve in the states. This makes sense why koji went with his parents to an onsen. On the other hand i saw several videos of shibuya in years past and it didnt seem as empty.

Well ~11:35 people started showing up in swarms. I got many pictures and a video as it turned new years. However, i have no means to transfer to them to my computer. Expect them up in 1-3 days.

I will leave you with this however, a picture of a hot chocolate drink from a vending maching. I had gotten this before and it was chilled, but this time the drink came out and i was quite surprised when it started warming my hands.

Again happy new years to all!
